PUMPKINS, BECK, 311 LIGHT UP KROQ XMAS SHOW

It's 1995 all over again at the 33rd KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas, which will feature headliners The Smashing Pumpkins (IAG), Beck (pictured, CAA) and 311 (CAA).

The 12/14 event at Kia Forum will also feature the reunited Sublime (Paladin), Jimmy Eat World (UTA), Franz Ferdinand and AWOLNATION (WME), as well as the less vintage Royel Otis, The Linda Lindas (CAA) and bby.

Accurately described by KROQ SVP of Programming Kevin Weatherly as "a SoCal holiday tradition," Almost Acoustic Christmas raises funds for local educational organizations Para Los Niños and the Al Wooten Jr. Heritage Center.

Tickets go on sale 11/14. Whether your grunge-era flannel still fits is another matter entirely.
